Okay, you were given two examples of why this is bad (Qaddafi, Sadam). Here’s another: Syria was a stable and semi-prosperous country before the meddling began, and then it was turned into a basket case. It took over ten years to depose Assad, and in the meantime their economy has been obliterated and half a million people died.
These are just the recent examples, there are so many more: Sukarno in Indonesia, Allende in Chile, Lumumba in Congo, over and over and fucking over the US comes and fucking destroys countries in the name of “liberating” the people. Your government programs you to hate these “regimes” but they’re actually stabilizing forces, and without them everything is worse.
Making things worse is the point. If they can’t install a puppet regime friendly to US interests they’ll settle for turning the country into another basket case, because taking Venezuela’s oil off the market raises prices (and thus profits)
And Trump is already promising to do the same fucking thing in Colombia! It’s so nakedly evil, and you just lap it up like a dog. The US’s internal politics don’t even matter, this is bipartisan.
You need to learn from history.
You need to touch grass
